I'm participating in the Jane Austen Challenge! In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Lydia follows the militia to Brighton, but as readers we are not given the opportunity to explore the delights of the seaside town. This challenge asks our authors to create variations of the story in which Brighton is featured.
My title is A Secret Suitor, and is a planned sweet, low angst but adventurous novella of around 25-30K words. Chapters are commencing this week, and One is already up.
A mysterious suitor. A London stalker. Will Brighton bring Elizabeth an offer of marriage, or an offer of death?
With Mr Bennet dying, Elizabeth dares not place all her hopes for the future in the hands of her mysterious correspondent, a suitor by letter only. However, her determination to save her family from penury has attracted not only the ire of Mr Darcy, but the attention of a sinister figure stalking genteel governesses. . .
